Neal Communities was recognized in the Communities category for Grand Park, a new neighborhood in south Sarasota that features homes with British West Indies design, lush landscaping and resort-style amenities, starting from $442,900. Neal Communities also won two awards in the Single Family Homes category for the Sea Mist model in Wildleaf at North River Ranch in Parrish and the Sanibel at the Boca Royale Golf & Country Club in Englewood. In addition, Neal Communities won an award for the Tidewater at Vicenza in Venice for the Multi-Family category offering four or fewer residences.
Neal Signature Homes received awards for two model homes in the Single Family Homes category, the Carlotta 2 at The Alcove at Waterside in Lakewood Ranch and the Cortina at Aria in Venice. Both are three-bedroom, two-bath homes with large walk-in closets in the master bathroom, oversized walk-showers, two separate sink vanities and private water closets. Customizable options are available, such as an expanded lanai from the master bedroom, outdoor kitchens and pool baths.
Both the Carlotta 2 and the Cortina also won awards for pool design. The pools were designed and built by Waterscapes Pools & Spas, which is part of the Neal Communities family of companies.
